    Took the shave slow with the weck this morning and stumbled through a two pass face and three pass neck shave. Got closer than I was expecting and only got a little bit of feedback from the aftershave. Hopefully it wasn't just second time use luck and I can keep these results up!

    A bit more irritation with this morning's shave. Nothing too bad though and I smell great so I can't complain! After only two uses I'm pretty sure this brush is going to end up being one of my favorites. I don't feel like the break I'm is even going to take that long.

    Little bit of a rush this morning. Still managed a quick two pass face and three pass neck shave. Went about as well as yesterday. Going to need to be able to get a little closer on my jawline before going back to work here in a little bit, but for now I'm golden. #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    A little more time this morning so I really focused on angle. Slightly better results than the first couple days, but still not anything to write home about. Day 5 and still no blood from anything more than a minor weeper or two though. #Monthofweckoning #RawHoggin

    Best attempt with the Weck so far. Closer than I've gotten to date and no irritation. Counting today's shave as a win! Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday! #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    Travelled all day today and finally made it home from vacation. Decided to knock out a quick shave, but did so while having the hiccups. The hiccups resulted in two small nicks, but great other than that. #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    One full day at home yesterday and back on the plane I find myself again today. 1 more week and then I'm just staying home indefinitely. At least I have Stag here with me. #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    I've broken in a couple boars like this at this point, but it always surprises me how much I end up liking each one. #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    Finally my last day of travel after about a full 4 weeks of it. As such, today's shave was a bit later than usual. The results were still fantastic though and as stated yesterday I am really beginning to like this setup. #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    A couple days of great shaves led to a little bit of over confidence this morning. Ended up with some irritation on the neck and a slight nick on the jaw line. #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    Seems like yesterday was just a fluke. Another no fuss shave this morning with no irritation. I also had someone ask why I smelt like leather today. I got to tell him all about the glory that is Stag! #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    Being mostly comfortable with the Weck at this point, using an amazing boar knot, and smelling Stag all day. How is August not everyone's favorite month? #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    Had to be at work earlier than normal this morning which caused a way too early shave. Still ended the shave with no issues and I had Stag to help get me through the long day! #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    Nothing to see here except more Stag. At this point I am pretty sure, unless it just instant dies, I could get at least 50 shaves out of this blade. #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning

    Sadly, the final day of August. Of course I have loved using Stag every day, but the brush and razor have been fantastic as well. The brush broke in pretty quickly and has been an absolute dream to use the whole time. I was very nervous to accept the Weckoning, but am so glad I did. I have gotten to the point where I can get an equally great shave in about the same amount of time as a safety razor. I'm excited to see now if I can translate some of what I learned with the Weck to the straight razor side of the hobby. #RawHoggin #Monthofweckoning
